Valdimir Sklovsky has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods, systems and apparatus for selecting an application in power-off mode
    Patent number: 8428513
    Abstract: An embodiment relates generally to a method of selecting applications. The method includes positioning a powered-down mobile device into a close proximity of a near field communication device and selecting an application from a plurality of applications stored on the powered-down mobile device. The method also includes executing the application in the powered-down mobile device to interact with the near field communication device.

  • Method and apparatus for dynamically changing pixel depth
    Patent number: 7193622
    Abstract: An electronic device (108) includes a display panel (126) and a display controller (124) for controlling the display panel (126). A plurality of data lines supplies image data to the display panel (126). The data lines include data lines for supplying red image data, green image data, and blue image data. Masking gates (118) are provided between a video buffer (116) and the display controller (124). A method of reducing power consumption includes masking selected ones of the data lines at predetermined times. The masking reduces the pixel depth of the image data. Thus, the pixel depth is reduced without re-encoding the source video data. Reducing the number of state transitions in the video data path reduces power consumption, thus longer battery life.
